This is the last book in this series (and the only other one I‘ve read is book 2) but I will make my way through the others. Viggo, a romance book lover and hopeless romantic, strikes a deal with Tallula, a thriller writer and non-believer in love. He will help her with a romance sub-plot in her 2nd book, and she will help him get his bookstore ready for its grand opening.

A cute little holiday romance in which a big city girl comes to a small mountain town and falls in love with a local guy. Nothing new but an enjoyable listen!

A cute and sweet YA story! Great character development, and although it‘s marketed as romance, it‘s also about family, actual and found.

I didn‘t read as much in December as I wanted to, due to illness early on and my hubby being off work for the last 10 days. We‘ve been having fun just hanging out! 😂
But I did manage 2 bingos!

Welcome to 2026, fellow Littens! I love the #ispybingo challenge run by @TheAromaofBooks so I couldn‘t help but make a few of my own when she so awesomely offered. 😂

Let‘s do some traveling this year! Most of the prompts will be found within books. For each of the 7 continents, the book can be set there or the author can be from there. Please tag me if you participate because I‘d love to see everyone‘s progress. Happy reading!

Faranae I started to think “oh no but I don't read the kind of romance with bare chests on the cover“, and then I remembered the very deceptive cover of Sailor's Delight. 😂 6d

Faranae @OriginalCyn620 At some point, I need to add the book to Litsy. It's a slow-burn, 0 spice m/m historical romance, with this cover https://www.roselerner.com/bookshelf/sailors-delight/ 6d

This is a second chance at love story. Police officer and love cynical Wren moves back to her hometown after being away for 19 years, and reconnects with her high school BF, Sam. Since Wren has been away, Sam has built up a reputation for being a man whore, and both of their current situations are a result of what drove them apart in high school.

A soft pick. This was pretty repetitive on several counts, but there was lots of Christmas-y vibes, and the MMC is an NHL player, so yeah. Didn‘t hate that! I also rooted for the FMC, who has a complicated relationship with her mother, and was just trying to follow her passion.

Shayla arrives in Ireland with her boyfriend Seamus for Christmas, hoping for a proposal. After meeting Seamus‘ family, his wealthy uncle Alabaster is found murdered at a holiday party. This was pretty cute, and I‘d read more of the series!

I held out as long as I could and went ahead and finished this today while I was doing the last of the holiday errands and wrapping. Loved it! I would really like to see an adaptation! This is loosely based on A Christmas Carol, one of my all-time faves, so I had a feeling I would like it.

OriginalCyn620 @TheBookHippie You may already know this, but when I went to Ireland last year, I learned that when a tree falls, they don‘t chop it up and move it, they just let nature do its thing. Unless there‘s a safety concern, of course, like one falling across a road. 💚 Since then, I‘ve been low-key obsessed with fallen trees! 2w

Fun read! A different kind of holiday novel but it really worked. I enjoyed the world that the author built, with each holiday having a royal family. Coal, the prince of Christmas is basically a screw up, and he is pitted against Hex, the Halloween prince, in a fake competition for the hand of the princess of Easter. When Coal finds out the reason for the ruse, he sets out to fix it, and falls for Hex in the process.

A perfect score! Home Alone isn‘t my favorite by far, but I‘ve seen it tons of times, and it is pretty funny. Here is my favorite Kevin quote: “Bless this highly nutritious microwaveable macaroni and cheese dinner and the people who sold it on sale. Amen.” 😂

This is a low pick for me. I think it just dragged in places. And maybe nothing is wrong with the book-perhaps I had built it up in my mind and then it just didn‘t live up to the expectations that I had!
